Path analysis: This path analysis shows the potential interaction between envrionmental and molecular factors that stimulate diapause in Pieris rapae butterflies. These factors include photoperiod, temperature, and hormone and protein levels.
Logic tree: This logic tree shows the potential cascading effects different degrees of winter warming (short term extremes vs. long-term consistent warming) have on various physiological processes that are important for diapause performance (metabolic rate and developmental timing). Such effects could indicate instances of adaptation (survival under winter warming) or physiological costs (death under winter warming).
